Status: Verified
GOAL:
Offline backup procedures for a replication source database.
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge Replication
FIX:
The offline backup procedure for a replication source database are the same as a non-replication database with After Imaging enabled.
On a database that has After Imaging enable and an offline backup is started, an AI switch will be issued. The next AI file in sequence must be empty for this operation and the backup to be successful.
When the offline backup has completed the following needs to be done.
1. Backup all full AI files that have not already been backed up.
rfutil db-nmae -C aimage extent list
Will produce a list giving the status of all AI extents.
The AI file that was active when the AI switch occurred will have been marked full, this and any other AI files that have not been backed up at this point in time will have to be backed up in case they are needed in conjunction with a prorest and roll forward of the previous probackup.
2. Mark all backed up full extents as empty so they will be available for use.
rfutil db-name -C aimage extent empty [extent-number | extent-path]
